However, Zhouzhou was still bumped by the child who charged over headlong.
Zhouzhou, held in Ye Wanwan’s arms, did not fall, but the Ultraman toy gift box he was holding "snap" fell to the ground with a sound.
Ye Wanwan’s brows furrowed, and the child did not apologize, did not even stop, and simply ran off straight ahead. After a turn, the child was out of sight.
Ye Wanwan quickly looked around but saw no sign of the child’s parents and was left speechless for a moment.
"Were you bumped just now?" Ye Wanwan looked down at Zhouzhou in her arms.
Zhouzhou’s eyes were red, and holding up his hand, he brought it to Ye Wanwan’s face, speaking with a crying tone, "Mommy, it hurts."
"What happened?" While speaking, Ye Wanwan pulled over Zhouzhou’s little hand and saw a small wound in the palm of his hand with blood seeping out.
Ye Wanwan frowned, examining Zhouzhou’s palm and then the gift box on the ground, determining the injury was likely caused by the sharp edge of the gift box’s plastic packaging.
Ye Wanwan looked up at Zhouzhou, a mix of heartache and anger in her eyes.
Just then, the child had already disappeared, and there was no sign of an adult either!
"Let’s go, Mommy will take you to get it treated," Ye Wanwan said, picking up Zhouzhou and getting ready to leave.
Zhouzhou hurriedly said, "Brother Ultraman Tiga!"
Because he was in a rush, Zhouzhou’s sentence was shortened to just "Brother Ultraman Tiga."
Ye Wanwan picked up the gift for Zhouzhou and took him to the cashier to pay, then asked if there was a first aid kit available.
Luckily, the cashier’s desk was prepared; seeing the injury in Zhouzhou’s palm, they quickly took out alcohol and iodine for disinfection.
The alcohol stung when applied, and Zhouzhou pouted, on the verge of tears, but seeing his mother, he did not cry.
After a simple treatment of Zhouzhou’s wound, Ye Wanwan finally took him out of the store.
While they were taking the escalator, Ye Wanwan saw a child running across the first floor of the mall, clearly the same child who had bumped into Zhouzhou in the toy store.
At that time, a woman was chasing after the child as well.
Ye Wanwan glanced at the woman’s silhouette, feeling a fleeting sense of familiarity, but it was quickly overshadowed by the anger welling up inside her.
Ye Wan herself was a mother, and she didn’t want to bear such malice towards a child, but she really detested such unapologetic children!
By the time Ye Wanwan reached the first floor, the mother and son were nowhere to be seen. She sighed, resigning herself to her bad luck.
Fortunately, it was only a small puncture wound that could be easily disinfected and wasn’t serious, and it had not delayed their time to go to Xiao Yu’s birthday party.
When Ye Wanwan and the others arrived, they found that many cars had already parked outside the villa. They had just gotten out of their car and hadn’t even reached the villa when they heard the joyful laughter of children.
"Zhouzhou, be careful when there are many kids around later," Ye Wanwan softly instructed.
"Okay," Zhouzhou agreed in his milky voice.
Hand in hand, the two of them headed towards the villa. Zhang Xuehan was the first to notice them. She walked towards them, calling out, "Xiao Yu, Zhouzhou is here."
"Zhouzhou is here!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately let go of the children nearby and charged towards them.
